Turkish police storm main opposition headquarters with tear gas

Police in Ankara stormed the headquarters of the Republican People's Party (CHP) on Sunday morning in an attempt to reinstate the former leader, Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu.

More than 100 police officers arrived at the main opposition party's building earlier in the day, gaining entry by cutting through the main entrance gate. The officers then used tear gas on party members who attempted to block the intrusion by barricading the reception level with chairs and sofas. Euronews reporter Burak Ütücü was among those affected by the gas.
